Ron Paul's votes
Ron Paul's campaign is chafing over his continuing to be relegated to lower-tier status. His campaign chairman, Kent Snyder, sent out a memo pointing out that Paul has garnered more votes over Iowa, New Hampshire and Michigan than Fred Thompson and Rudy Giuliani -- two Republicans who are usually considered top-tier candidates.
"If I had predicted that result when this campaign started almost 12 months ago, I would have been laughed out of the room by the so-called experts. Currently there is no frontrunner and this race is wide open," Mr. Snyder said.
According to their math, Mitt Romney leads with 443,139 votes across those three states, followed by John McCain with 361,546 votes, Mike Huckabee with 207,308 votes and Paul with 84,554 votes.
Giuliani has garnered 50,925 votes while Thompson is slightly behind at 49,198 votes.
It's worth noting Mr. Paul has competed seriously in all three states he points to, while Giuliani spent little time in Iowa and Michigan and Thompson ignored New Hampshire and Michigan.
South Carolina, which votes Saturday, should be a good test to see how Paul stacks up head-to-head with those "upper-tier" Republicans.
